In 2010 the HBO program Real Sports devoted a program to Christina, Bobbie Dittmeier and Christine Daniels, following Christine's suicide the previous year.

In 2010 Ross forman quoted Christina: "I consider myself immensely fortunate because
of the women who did have the courage to come out [ before me, ]. They made life so much easier for people such as me who
transitioned [ after them. ] Sure, the challenges are still there,
but there is so much more knowledge." Since 2007 Christina has been active as a speaker for trans persons and against police harassment in the Chicago area. She is also a board member for Equality Illinois. In 2013 she was named to the bord of directors of GLAAD.
In April 2014, Kahrl was a co-signer with 350+ others who protested against Calpernia Addams, Andrea James and many others who had come out in earlier decades. She has also campaigned to make 'tranny' a slur word.

About Zagria

I have a social science degree. I spent several years in the 70s doing Gay Lib counselling, and moved on to organizing trans groups. I was rejected by the Clarke Institute (now CAMH) in the mid 1980s, probably because I do not match either of their stereotypes, but was accepted by Russel Reid on our first meeting in late 1987, and had surgery from James Dalrymple some months later. I have mainly worked as an IT consultant. I have been with the same husband for 45 years.
